Making it out alive

chapter 13

Chapter 13

Nicks POV:

His lips were soft on mine moving with them in every which way possible, like we were one person. Fire spread through my body and my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I was literally dizzy with happiness. My guitar had long since been thrown to the floor as he had me locked in his embrace. In honesty, I didn't know much about him. There were still a ton of things that were sketchy to me, but as of right now, I could care less about any of them. I never would have believed in love until him, I'm still not sure if I do, but I know that I've never felt this way about someone, and I don't think I ever will.

He licked my bottom lip asking for entrance and I more than willingly obliged fighting for dominance. His mouth was cool with a minty-cinnamon flavor that sent a shock through my body. Nothing else was on my mind, it was completely and utterly him. I felt him smile against my lips as I did the same. Stopping to catch my breath he trailed kisses down my jaw line setting each kiss with a new icy fire until. One of his hands was clutching my head while the other made small circular swirl patterns on my back. He leaned over me taking control which I loved. I hated a guy that always acted shy or let me overpower them, I needed someone who would tell me what to do and make me do it, while still letting me control him, it's a confusing concept, but James seemed to understand it perfectly. He brushed my rib and I tightened up but ignored the pain. He must have felt my tense because he immediately jumped off me.

"Shit, sorry" he said looking at me with worry as we lay down. I just laughed and intertwined his hand with mine. I heard footsteps and immediately knew my mother was coming. Crap, I totally forgot she was home.

She stopped at my door way and I shut my eyes wishing it was all just a nightmare.

"Who the hell is that?!" no such luck.

"Umm, this is James" I said avoiding eye contact.

"Oh, and he's another one of your sex buddies or something? Don't think I don't know what you do in school; I'm surprised you're not pregnant or something. You can be such a slut sometimes" I hated when she did this. I hadn't even kissed a guy until just recently, yet she just assumed I just went and did it with everyone. Sighing I just took her yelling and waited for her rant to end. After a good slap and a few more choice words she left my room. I looked over at James letting my hair cover my face trying to hide my embarrassment. I saw him glaring at where my mom had just walked out of.

"How could she say those things about you, isn't she suppose to be loving? That was all lies! ... Those were all lies... right?"

"Yea" I said still avoiding eye contact out of embarrassment. I felt him cup his hands over my chin and a small shock was sent through my body making my stomach flip multiple times.

"Don't listen to her. You are perfect."

"Some people aim for perfection- I achieve it" I said winking. He laughed then pulled me back down to his side kissing me softly. My heart hammered in my chest and my stomach flipped until I pushed away from him.

"James, I can't do this" I said gesturing between us. He looked hurt and confused.

"Why not?"

"I barley know anything about you, I'm confused and lost and I'm not getting hurt again" I said turning around hating myself for doing this. There was silence until I heard him stand up

"I want to show you something" he said grabbing my hand and leading me out of the room. I reluctantly followed him towards his car. Getting in, a comfortable silence settled between us and he held onto my hand, not loosening his grip. I turned looking at him- high cheek bones, messy black hair, and beautiful, breath taking green eyes. 'Yup, the perfect package to take my heart and dump it on the side of the road' I thought frowning.
